More about Deep Blue
Remember a couple months ago when this blog posted some of the dental faculty publications included in Deep Blue? Well, now you can join those august ranks of faculty whose work will always be remembered. Why will it be remembered? Because more and more faculty are exploring options to archive publications, data, and research images for posterity with the University Library's service Deep Blue. Read on, for a recent press release on this topic.
Deep Blue -- Your work: cited more, safe forever.
The University of Michigan has more than 150 years of experience and expertise in presenting and preserving the world's best research and creativity. With Deep Blue, the UM Institutional Repository, we now have a place specifically for our faculty work. Faculty create it, deposit it online, and decide who should have access. We take care of the rest, for free.
Use it to connect with other scholars: In a cross-disciplinary study, when compared to articles that require paid access, those in systems like Deep Blue "...have consistently more citations, the advantage varying from 25%-250%."[1]
Ask your librarian or send a message to deepblue@umich.edu to get started. For more information about Deep Blue, see http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/about/
